June Mountain Maternity Portraits | Mountain Maternity Photographer | Lace & Locket Photo | Kananaskis, Alberta

This beautiful session couldn’t have gone more smoothly out at Wedge Pond in Kananaskis Country.

Mama had her hair and makeup done, and she picked about five gowns to wear. She nailed every one of them.

These portraits took place a couple hours before sunset in June. The weather was perfect, and big sister was so stoked to be in photos!
This amethyst gown is also available in black.

If you’re interested in booking your own mountain maternity portraits and you’re in the Calgary, Airdrie area, you can reach out here to ask any questions and get your booking started.

Fall Maternity Mini Sessions | Lace & Locket Photo | Calgary Maternity Photographer | Airdrie Maternity Photographer

If you’ve been wanting to book a maternity session for a while but something’s been holding you back - now is the time! These mini sessions are designed to capture your beautiful bump against a stunning fall backdrop, before it blows away with the wind for another year. Normally when folks book their maternity session in around September/October it’s either still too green or the wind comes one day and just blows all the leaves away before we even get a chance to capture it! Fall lasts but a moment here in Alberta.

These sessions allow you to capture your bump (with your family included- or not if you want!) and give you the ability to spoil yourself, treat yourself this pregnancy with some gorgeous photos. There is an option to add on Hair & Makeup, purchase your entire gallery or just keep it simple.

Maternity gowns will be reserved ahead of time so that gowns are only being worn once to adhere to Covid sanitization guidelines. This means that some gowns will be reserved before others so if there’s one you’re interested in, get on messaging me to reserve it ASAP! Once your time slot has been selected you will get a link to the maternity gowns available.

It's always Sunny in Calgary | Lace & Locket Photo - Calgary Maternity Photographer | Pearce Estate Park, YYC

When Miss J booked her maternity session for the end of June, we were battling rain. Yes it’s true, the weather here in Alberta is unpredictable & can be downright nasty, sunny, beautiful, terrifying and everything else, all in one day. I know, it’s so hard to believe. Anyways.

Back in 2016 it was the same. During July, it rained I think 21 out of the 31 days of the entire month and those other 10 days were hardly filled with warmth and sun. I remember distinctly because back then I was shooting weddings and I had about 3 including a week long Indian wedding and the weather was not nice to any of us. One day, we got rained out during the wedding formals and we headed to the SAIT parking lot where we found about 20 other wedding photographers and their bridal parties, all trying to find refuge from the downpour.

I’ve gotten pretty good at deciphering The Weather Network and it’s reports on what the forecast is supposed to look like. I’ve found that there’s never a 50% chance of rain, it’s either 40% or less, or 60% and higher. 40% and less, generally it might do anything from sprinkle to downpour for 5 minutes and then it ends. 60% -80% Im still pretty skeptical. 90% chance of rain, I look to see how much because it could still be a liar and be so super nice, sometimes it rains the entire day. Sometimes.

On the afternoon leading up to J’s session it was super dark in Calgary, which is south of me ( Im located in Airdrie) and super dark to the north of me, and super bright and sunny north of that. She was nervous. I reassured her that we still had a few hours and I had a feeling it was about to dump and then the skies would open and leave a beauty sunset for us just in time for her session. She was skeptical, haha. We waited, it rained. But then it got sunny. And sunny enough that it dried by the time our session started, which was located at Pearce Estate Park, also home of the Bow Habitat Station - you can take your kids there to fish! (it backs onto the river, and the Deerfoot, take the 17th & Blackfoot Exist west, first right and you’re there).

Summer Sunset Maternity | Lace & Locket Photo | Fish Creek Park, Calgary | Calgary Maternity Photographer

This was SUCH a fun session! We shot just before sunset at Fish Creek Park in Calgary and it was a gorgeous night. J brought a dress of her own to start and it was mustard coloured and gorgeous! The pink, sequin and black gowns are in the Lace & Locket Client Closet which you can visit here.

I can’t wait to Photograph this stunning couple’s adorable babe in September, it’s sure to be as fun and gorgeous as these folks were at their maternity session!

The Tree of Life Maternity Session | Calgary Maternity Photographer | South Glenmore Park | Lace & Locket Photography

Brianna's session was done in late October at South Glenmore Park. I had no idea this park existed and I sure didn't know there was access to water and I loved the different options for this session. I arrived early to scout the location and found this stunning tree where it branched out right from the base and it just spoke to me so I knew that I wanted this stunning mama to pose in it. The shots turned out perfect and I later found out that the "Tree of Life" was her family crest and it just seemed meant to be! 

I can't wait for their little miss to come into the world so that I can cuddle her and put her in the cutest little custom outfit I had made by Kartay Photography Props just for her newborn session!
